OK, when I werk at the retail, I am subjected to POP music... henceforth I am forced to hear the same 10 songs for 8 hrs, because for some stupid fucking reason the radio stations here can't get a larger rotation of their music.

'more varieity' my ass!

anyway. I kept hearing 'the superman song' and I decided to look up the lyrics to see what they were trying to say

quote:

---

Superman (It's Not Easy)
I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird…I’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd…but don’t be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed…but won’t you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away…away from me
It’s all right…You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy…or anything…

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It’s not easy to be me.

This song is not about the comic book Superman.

Too many to mention, but the one that strikes me right now is that retarded "Miss American Pie" song.

"Took my Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry." What a brilliant line!

[Jay-Z]
You gotta, pop that styles, rock that watch dial
See that Benz? Cop that now
Drop-that-top-down, they gon' kill us anyway
Them cops uptown hit holmes with forty-one rounds
Live yo' life, get yo' ice
She been with you since day one nigga, trick on yo' wife
Spend that dough, when in doubt, take that trip
She ain't livin for the moment homey shake that bitch
He that cool, he can't take you nowhere? Then leave that fool
Be that rude if he that cool
Save for what? Ball til your days is up
This place is fucked, all type of AIDS and such
How they make it where you afraid to fuck
They gave us drugs then turned around and investigated us
Life is short, then you on life support
so in between it all I'ma say I seen it all, watch me

Chorus: Dr. Dre

Place yourself in the shoes of true felons (uh-huh)
and tell me you won't ball every chance you get (uhh, watch me)
At any, chance you hit (that's right) we live for the moment
(yo, watch, watch) Makes sense don't it? Now make dollars
(Watch me) You see me around some cheese
(Watch me) See me with hustlers around them G's
(Watch me) Blowin 'dro runnin through pounds of weed
(Watch me) At the bar baby, round's on me
(Watch me)

I think that just about any rap song falls under "stupid lyrics."

I was going to say that, but I thought it best to provide proof.

Although, I must admit, that Jay-Z Unplugged was VERY good.

Basically, as a rule -

Anything that says "Jigga", "Nigga" , "Uhn-Uhn", "WHUT!" more than once sucks. Sometimes once is ALL it takes.

Mastah P is the worst. He sounds constipated. Ungh! UHHH!!! UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Bustah Rhymes is okay in my book because of his interesting lyrics. As well as Outkast.

Outkast, Jurassic 5, A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys - that's about all beat rhyming I can stand if I'm actually paying attention to the lyrics.

I've learned to not pay attention to lyrics. That's why Instrumentals tend to be a band's strongest point...
